Chapter 314 The Prototype of the Legendary Mechanical Beast! The Awakening Ceremony of the Mechanical Soul! Blood Machine Ascends to Godhood? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Could it be that Master Wu Shou has completed the modification of Red Hare?"
Lu Yu looked delighted, showing no sign of the creditor's panic. Being strong and powerful is nothing; having money in your pocket is what makes a man truly powerful.
Even if they are powerless, the girls still have to coax them with gentle words!
Moreover, now that Lu Yu has advanced to the high-level Morning Star rank, he has gained two more contract slots and can contract Red Hare at any time.
Even if another one comes, we can accommodate it.
However, he wouldn't make contracts casually, since he had too many money-devouring beasts at home, but limited resources.
Specialization is more important than volume.
A single True King is enough to sweep away all living beings below the True King level!
The weak are even unable to look directly at the great beings, their spirituality goes out of control, leading to distortion.
Even the number of Beast Kings is achieved by strengthening individuals through the group and then connecting them through a mental network, thus becoming immune to most mental attacks, which is why they can form a demonic tide that sweeps across everything.
Lu Yu's four pets are almost all from the Overlord system, and they have no shortage of low-level troops. There is absolutely no need to waste precious contract slots to add a few weaklings.
In Lu Yu's team, Little Spider and Egg are responsible for single-target damage, while Mouse is responsible for scouts and all-rounders, going wherever needed and occasionally even acting as an assassin.
In addition, it possesses two major incarnations: the Radiant Red Dragon Ant and the Three Calamities Peacock, making its overall combat power extremely high.
In particular, the Three Calamities Peacock, after setting fire to the Breeding Tree Sea Secret Realm, condensed a complete [Calamity Feather], which can find an opportunity to bear a new fourth calamity.
The three calamities are about to transform into the four calamities.
"However, bearing new natural disasters is not easy. It requires absorbing the massive source of calamity of the corresponding attribute, which is equivalent to transferring the natural disaster of a region onto a feather."
The choice of the next natural disaster must be made carefully. Ideally, it should complement the previous three. Perhaps we should pay attention to secret realms of the natural disaster type…”
Lu Yu pondered in his heart.
As for the Paper Knight, although he is too brutal in his Sun form, often turning people into light, he is often considered a damage dealer.
However, due to its skill characteristics, its true role is that of a super tank and healer who combines immunity to control effects, healing, invulnerability, and damage output!
Therefore, what Lu Yu's team is currently lacking is a mechanical-type pet.
It's important to know that since the rise of humanity, many races have seen the potential and efficiency of technology, and some friendly races have come to learn from humanity.
For example, the elves of the Sky Tree Kingdom are most skilled in online media and filmmaking.
The proper kind!
Because of the high attractiveness of the Elf race, many household names and big stars have emerged, wielding significant influence among various races.
Although rival races are envious, they can only resort to theft and their own research and development, which is why news of spies being captured frequently emerges from the Alliance.
Another type, like the Mechanical King's Domain, inherited the ancient civilization.
Technological civilization has existed since ancient times. From the earliest tools to the various amazing machines of today, it is essentially another manifestation of material change according to the times.
Even in the myriad realms, unless shrouded in primordial authority or an overly powerful supernatural system suppresses the development of civilization, the increasing population and the demand for improved productivity will inevitably lead to a similar path.
Therefore, mechanical engineering majors have extremely broad employment prospects.
The world belongs to techies!
However, Lu Yu was unaware that Red Hare's transformation leaned towards that of a pure beast, turning it into a mechanical behemoth that trampled everything in its path.
Or is it about enhancing data analysis capabilities? Manipulating hundreds of warships with a thought—a mythical level of ship control!
Or is it mechanical erosion? Instantly paralyzing a city?
But it doesn't matter which one it is, since he has the power of forbidden secret food and can modify it at will.
The [Sparkling Oil], dangerous for mechanics and impossible to integrate perfectly, is excellent material for Lu Yu, allowing him to perform a special evolution of Red Hare and truly achieve an effect of unlimited energy.
In addition, he also obtained from the Holy City of the Corpse Emperor, which was used to seal the Corpse Angels [Mechanical Kingdom Gear].
Originating from a forbidden and great being, the Supreme Gear, it created a unique ecological world—the Mechanical World.
Its effect is to suppress the capabilities of technological civilization, directly paralyzing it.
Let's beat up some cavemen!
It's practically the nemesis of mechanical engineering!
Even if it was that evil cult we encountered before, since they dared to offend the great benefactor Lu, they would be skinned alive even if there was no profit to be made.
If conditions allowed, Lu Yu would like to transform into the Faceless Brotherhood, trick them into summoning superiors, and then reap the rewards.
After all, his ranch is still seven divine abominations away from the next stage of evolution!
"I wonder if the powerful evil god's familiars in the mechanical system eat grass. Oh well, they have to eat it whether they want to or not..." Lu Yu thought to himself as he opened the message.
The portraits of Lao Wu's repair shop are of Wu Shou and his granddaughter Wu Xinyue.
Although the old man looked old-fashioned and reluctant, he still turned his head toward his granddaughter, his eyes overflowing with doting affection.
Grandpa said Red Hare is finished, but because it contains the blood of a legendary creature, its spiritual energy is too violent. It needs to be delayed for five days until the spiritual energy calms down a bit before its machine soul can awaken. The ritual will take three days. You can come and pay the balance then, and you can take it away. Be sure to come early. It misses you.
Judging from the tone, it must have been posted by that little girl, Wu Xinyue.
"Five days... that's not a long time." Lu Yu nodded slightly and replied with an "okay," but after sending the message, he sensed something was off.
Red Hare doesn't have a machine soul yet, does it?
Why are you thinking of me?
He was somewhat puzzled, but considering the mechanics' ability to sculpt the appearance of ancient gods and their passion for engine oil, it seemed to make sense.
Mechanics have always been eccentric.
They might even be whispering secrets to the machines on ordinary days.
"However, as a veteran mechanic, Old Wu's mechanical equipment is indeed top-notch, and the signal was not affected during the Silent Moon."
Lu Yu sighed, but didn't think much of it, since the Silent Moon only affected most electronic devices, not all of them.
For example, the alliance used special secret artifacts to forcibly stabilize some mechanical communication equipment, ensuring the timeliness of information in various places and preventing major chaos.
Having too much territory has both advantages and disadvantages. It can bring countless resources, but if it is completely cut off from the world, every city will become an isolated island in the dark sea.
They will be swallowed up by the waves without a sound, and by the time they are discovered, only bones remain.
However, Lu Yu noticed that among the recent news of unrest in various domains, there was not much about the Mechanical King Domain; it was eerily calm.
Many people speculate that the mother robot may have taken over the situation and begun to manage it in a militarized manner when it encountered danger.
I just don't know if this will affect the Gate of All Machines for entering the Machine King's Domain?
Lu Yu pondered this for a moment, then shared the news with the other pets, which elicited enthusiastic responses.
Of these, the mouse is the one who is most looking forward to it.
It originally intended to train Egg to be a bodyguard, but things went wrong halfway through, and it turned into a silly dragon that was very disobedient and only knew how to steal its snacks.
Hopeless!
But Red Hare is different. It was once the mount of the Rat Emperor. In the novels that Xiu Ren told, it was imbued with the Rat Emperor's aura and was no longer an ordinary creature.
They will become his right-hand men, suppressing powerful enemies once again and reclaiming the throne of second place.
Thinking of that bright future, the mouse couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Because with the little spider's current strength, it would only take a day to reach the Machine King's Domain via a void jump, and the Silent Moon has not yet completely ended.
Lu Yu prepared to continue developing a training plan, but before entering the Nightmare Prison, he took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Ji.
【be careful】
[Okay! (Thorn flowers sway, jpg)]
Jiang Ji replied to the message instantly, sounding very happy, and told Lu Yu that she had started working out her glutes and legs.
Although it was because Lu Yu really liked these two places, she didn't say so, but instead sent several training photos.
In the photo, Jiang Ji is wearing a cool training uniform, sweat dripping down her face, and her fair skin shines even brighter under the light. It appears to be on a carriage belonging to the Thorn Church.
Since the in-depth discussion, the woman has become much more relaxed, as if she has broken free of some kind of restriction, and has adopted the demeanor of a nun from the Church of Thorns.
Lu Yu expressed strong criticism of this, not even glancing closely or noticing the surging waves of the buttocks.
However, since everyone was so eager to learn and ask for his advice, he felt embarrassed to refuse. Although he always got full marks in his craft classes and was a good student who loved hands-on practice, he was still reserved.
So I politely declined, saying that it wouldn't be appropriate.
In response, Jiang Ji simply sent a two-word repetition, which made Lu Yu squint his eyes and marvel.
This woman is so good at it.
I never imagined that at my age, I would have a daughter.
So he generously offered to help with guidance next time.

While Lu Yu was busy training with great enthusiasm, far away in the Mechanical King Domain...
The once bustling city of Order was now deserted, with no pedestrians on the streets. Instead, countless patrol robots constantly patrolled the city and issued announcements warning ordinary people not to leave their homes, as they would be considered enemies.
Any signs of chaos will be ruthlessly extinguished.
Even those who defy the established order...
people!
...click...click...click...
A colossal mechanical mother projection enveloped the entire city, with countless data flowing through it. The sound of gears turning could be heard, and the projection gradually turned a brass color, making it appear even more mysterious...
Old Wu's repair shop was closed, and murmurs could be heard coming from a dark little room without any lights on.
"Why...why..."
Wu Xinyue sat on the chair, hugging her knees, her body trembling uncontrollably. She wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
She couldn't understand...
Why did the Mech Kingdom become like this?
Aren't we all passionate about machines?
"Why isn't Grandpa back yet?"
Fear appeared on Wu Xinyue's face.
The transformation of all things has unexpectedly come to the machines!
I wonder if the league knows about this?
Thinking of this, she turned on her computer, wanting to send a message to the alliance liaison, but there was no signal at all; all the messages just kept spinning.
Even this portion of electricity comes from the repair shop's own generator.
After the Silent Moon began, all information, whether from outside or from within, was intercepted by the Mechanical Mother in the sky, making the entire City of Order seem to have separated from the Alliance.
It became an isolated island.
Initially everything was in order, but for some unknown reason, a large number of machines suddenly underwent an unknown mutation, and a large number of mechanical beasts went out of control one after another.
Without their mechanical beasts, mechanics are like people without arms, utterly unable to resist the endless surveillance machinery. Even if their mechanical beasts haven't mutated, they can only be trapped at home.
Even ordinary beast tamers dare not go out.
While the divination hasn't been restored, even the Alliance wouldn't be able to detect the anomaly here.
Her grandfather, Wu Shou, a top mechanic of the Old Mechanics Guild, is preparing to find the source of the problem in order to resolve it. Because if the mechanical contamination continues to spread, it could very well affect the Mechanism Mother!
If something goes wrong with it, the entire Mechanical King Domain could be buried.
Moreover, the important figures in the eight mechanical churches all possess special marks bestowed by the Mechanical Mother, granting them certain privileges and the ability to move freely.
However, after he arrived, the mechanical mutations did not stop; instead, they worsened.
"What exactly happened?"
Thinking of this, Wu Xinyue opened the peephole on the mechanical door and cautiously looked out at the honey-gold flower field.
Grandpa specially transplanted a large number of top-quality flower seeds because she mentioned liking the blooming honey-gold flowers, and cultivated them with refined machine oil to keep them in full bloom.
However, at this moment, when Wu Xinyue looked at these metallic flowers, there was no joy in her eyes, only fear.
Because these flowers, which originally resembled roses but were made entirely of metal, slowly drooped, and blackish-red liquid continuously flowed from their buds, staining the ground.
Buzz!
The golden swarm of bees danced around the flowers, trying to collect nectar, but the moment they made contact, a large number of bees collapsed, as if they had been poisoned.
Soon, however, their appearance underwent a dramatic change.
Suddenly, a large amount of dark red liquid seeped from the original bee-like structure, staining the insect's thin wings and causing strange fleshy tissue to grow.
It presents a sense of symbiosis between flesh and machine.
In stark contrast to the perfect, powerful, and harmonious nature of the Dark Red Dragon Ants, their flesh and blood are more like...
parasitic!
The mechanical pet has been modified inside and out!
Buzz!
The swarm of bees flew about, their compound eyes flashing red, exuding a frenzied and tyrannical aura as they devoured the honey-gold flowers, emitting chilling sounds.
Wu Xinyue stared blankly at the scene, unable to understand why the machinery would be transformed into bizarre flesh and blood life by these strange black oils.
It seems that the scorching oil that Lu Yu told his grandfather about before was not dealt with and instead spread.
Could it be the work of some evil god of life, taking advantage of the silent moon to try and corrupt the Mechanical King's Domain?
Wu Xinyue didn't know, but she felt somewhat familiar with Shuoyou, as if she had seen it in some sect and heard her grandfather angrily cursing it through gritted teeth.
It seems that only... could make him hate so much.
Blood Machine Faction!
After all, only they are so proficient in the fusion of flesh and machine, and have been planning the "Blood Machine Ascension to Godhood" project.
However, if they want to influence the entire Mech King Domain and bypass the Mech Mother, the authority of the Mech faction alone is not enough; they absolutely need the help of the other Mech factions.
In other words, there are multiple moles.
It's very likely an ideological infighting among several major factions!
The struggle for roads has always been extremely brutal!
"Grandpa, is it really possible to resolve this disaster?"
Just as she was pondering, several golden-armored serpents suddenly sensed the fluctuations in their aura, abruptly turning around. Their ferocious compound eyes stared into the narrow little cat's eyes, and their gaping maws, completely disproportionate to their bodies, split open, seemingly aimed at her...
laugh!
This sight startled Wu Xinyue, who screamed and instinctively took a step back. Then she saw them raise their bellies and shoot out several black venomous stingers.
She decisively closed the peephole, and then heard a "ding-ding-ding" sound coming from the mechanical door, followed by a violent shaking like a storm.
The corrupted swarm of golden mechanical bees launched a frenzied attack, but fortunately the entire room was made of special alloy by top-tier mechanics, so unless a Moonlit-ranked mechanic intervened, it would be impossible to break through it head-on.
But it still made Wu Xinyue frown.
Are we really going to stay in the room for a few days? Putting aside whether there will be enough food, what if the pollution continues to spread and affects Grandpa?
Wu Xinyue frowned, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness. Because of a serious illness she suffered as a child, she was unable to form a contract with a pet, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
To prevent the mechanical beasts in Old Wu's repair shop from being contaminated by the strange black oil, Wu Shou had their power sources shut off in advance. This included the mechanical beasts she had made herself, as well as many other mechanical devices.
Although Old Wu's original intention was to protect her, he overlooked the fact that the swarm of bees that usually collected honey had become the biggest threat at this moment.
The energy module is located deep within the repair shop, accessible only by traversing a flower field.
You will encounter more bee swarms during the process!
Without the help of mechanical beasts...
Wait, a mechanical beast!
Wu Xinyue suddenly realized that not far from her room was...
The renovation room for Red Hare!
Because it did not awaken its machine soul, and because it was a custom-made product of the rookie king Lu Yu, its energy was not shut off.
As a mechanic involved in the manufacturing process, Wu Xinyue understood the terrifying power that Red Hare possessed after fusing with the legendary blood of life.
Even Wu Shou praised it:
This is his most outstanding work, possessing the potential to become a legendary mechanical beast.
Wu Xinyue thought that if she could help Chitu awaken the mechanical soul ritual, she could repel the swarm of bees and then use the energy to awaken her own mechanical beast.
Then, I can go out and look for Grandpa.
If all else fails, they can try to leave the Mechanical King's Domain, call for help from the Alliance, and try to save the City of Order.
"Grandpa said I should wait a week, but... I don't want to just sit here and wait to die!"
Wu Xinyue murmured softly, her eyes growing brighter.
Although she had a way to break the deadlock, she did not act rashly. How to get to the Red Hare modification room, soothe its frenzied spirit, and perform the ritual were all problems.
Moreover, this was something Lu Yu had ordered; it was his companion, and he had to ensure that Red Hare wouldn't cause any side effects.
"We must first lure the swarm away, then rush into the modification room. That metal roller shutter door should be able to block their impact for a short time."
I remember that part of my grandfather's secret stash of money was hidden behind the mural in the renovation room. Inside was a large box of "Silent Machine Powder" from the Church of the Moon of Procreation. It could silence machine spirits, or in other words, it could inertize the rampaging mechanical psionic energy, thus making the ritual simpler.
Furthermore, there's a top-quality awakening stone in my secret stash of money, specifically for awakening the Mech Soul. It's my grandfather's treasure, and it can increase the success rate of the Mech Soul awakening ritual. However, my grandfather hasn't let me try the Mech Soul ritual yet; I still need to practice.
Wu Xinyue looked distressed. Her grandfather had taught her many things, but he hadn't taught her how to awaken her soul, and he wouldn't let the other senior and junior brothers teach her.
Every time she asked, she received the same answer.
Hone your basic skills!
However, Wu Xinyue was also very stubborn. The more she was told not to learn, the more she wanted to understand. She secretly hid a diagram of the Machine Soul Awakening Ritual in her room.
I'm going to practice secretly and give Grandpa a surprise later.
"I never thought I'd actually need it today!"
Wu Xinyue sighed, flipped through the diagrams, and used her powerful memory to memorize all the Machine Soul Ritual details. Then she rummaged through the drawers, opened a hidden compartment in the room, and took out something from it, holding it in her hand.
Wu Xinyue took a deep breath, pressed herself against the door, and waited quietly. The moment the swarm of bees gave up after attacking for half an hour, she decisively pressed the switch.
Click click click!
As a series of mechanisms and gears turned, the mechanical door opened instantly. The swarm of bees, which had been turning around, sensed Wu Xinyue's presence and were preparing to hunt again when a pink sphere rolled down onto the ground below them.
The old machine-type 5 rusted psionic grenade - a pink custom version!
As a mechanic, it's normal for him to keep some weapons in his room, right?
boom!
With a loud bang, the grenade exploded, unleashing a terrifying storm of rusty psionic energy. Rust clung to the swarm of bees, causing them to stiffen and fall to the ground like raindrops, instantly losing their ability to move.
"Run now!"
Wu Xinyue sprinted decisively towards the Red Hare modification room, but the remaining bees, oozing more black oil, shot at her.
However, Wu Xinyue dodged with a roll, picked up the processed steel ball on the ground, and flung it backward, accurately piercing dozens of bees. Their bodies shattered and turned into pools of black oil, splattering all over the ground.
"Don't you even know what it means to be born with superhuman strength?!"
Wu Xinyue felt smug. She used her fingerprint to open the electric roller shutter door and turned to observe the situation behind her. Before she could even feel surprised, she saw that the black oil seemed to have a life of its own, wriggling on the ground and burrowing into the rest of the bee swarm that had been paralyzed by the psionic pulse.
next moment,
Buzz!
The large swarm of bees had miraculously regained their mobility, their crimson eyes fixed on Wu Xinyue, and they raised their abdomens.
The next moment, a storm of poisonous needles swept in.
Wu Xinyue decisively lay down, dodging the attack, and rolled into the Red Hare modification room, quickly closing it from the inside.
Ding Ding Ding!
Numerous poison needles pierced through the shutter, causing it to tremble violently, as if it were about to be torn apart at any moment.
Because it was just a renovation room, high-grade metal protection wasn't used from the beginning.
Wu Xinyue felt the wear and tear on the roller shutter door and roughly estimated how long it could last.
"Four days!"
This takes into account the time it takes for the mutated metal bee swarm to recover from exhaustion, which is the theoretically perfect time. If the number of bees increases, the time will be uncertain.
Moreover, the awakening ceremony of the mechanical soul is determined by the strength of the mechanical beast. Wu Shou will take charge of it. Red Hare estimated that it would take three days, but in reality it can be completed in two days, not including the time spent smoking and drinking.
But now, it's her turn as a novice. She has to awaken her machine soul within four days, and it will also take her a day to calm her frenzied psionic energy with the Powder of Stillness.
In other words, she only has three days, or even less.
You can do it!
Wu Xinyue mentally cheered herself on, then turned on the light and saw what was happening on the other side…
The prototype of the legendary mechanical beast!
No matter how many times, I can't help but marvel at it.
However, when Wu Xinyue started helping Chitu awaken, she didn't notice that the computer screen in her room had changed.
The page that was originally connecting to the alliance liaison suddenly redirected and then showed Lu Yu's profile picture.
The input method kept changing, and a line of text was quickly typed out.
This was the information Lu Yu had received earlier, and he imitated Wu Xinyue's tone:
Grandpa said Red Hare is finished, but because it contains the blood of a legendary creature... we must come soon.
However, during the sending process, the bytes jump, and eventually, after a complete sentence, the text keeps changing and being deleted until only four words remain.
It misses you.
Ding, message sent.
But instead of the spinning circle that appeared when Wu Xinyue sent the message before, instead...
Sent successfully.
Ding.
The computer screen went out, and everything returned to normal.
